I am reading an article and it writes, "Sex is when you can explore your personality without any social anxieties" (SELF.2009) Basically, during sex your ture self/nature comes out without regard to playing a role in public or maintaining social norms. Thoughts?
 
I think it all depends on which areas the person is experiencing the social anxiety in. Different things will be therapeutic for different people.
I hope you are doing OK. Best Wishes.
 
That article is probably messed up. A real therapist would not say that... if that were true, than all sorts of bad things (rape, incest, etc) would be permissible... and they most certainly aren't.
 
i suppose thats true. what goes on behind closed doors and all.

but then i think it should read 'sex with someone you TRUST is when...' because i very much doubt that someone would suggest their fetish of golden showers with a casual one night stand partner, well maybe some people would but then they'd be in the minority, and those people probably dont have many social anxieties in the first place!!
 
That won't work for me as I'm too shy for that in the first place lol My true nature only comes at home surrounded by familiar faces.
